Hi everyone.I have a few translations I would like to run by you.Earlier this year you were very kind in translating a bit of the St Patrick's Breastplate for me and was delighted with the response.The lines I would like checked over are as follows :

LISTEN TO THUNDER BUT DON'T STAND IN THE RAIN Éist leis an toirneach ach seachain an fhearthainn

KEEP THE GREEN ABOVE THE REDCoinnigh an glas is cionn an death

I BELIEVE IN THE CROSS An chrois mo chreideamh

The last one I would also like as I TRUST IN THE CROSS .All the best and hope to hear from some if you when you have the time

KEEP THE GREEN ABOVE THE REDCoinnigh an glas is cionn an deathThat looks like a autocorrect LOL, it's dearg not death. The rest looks correct.

I BELIEVE IN THE CROSS An chrois mo chreideamh literally that means: The cross, my religion. Macboo said:tá muinín agam sa chroisAs you're talking about religion you can also use "creidim" instead of "muinín".

Thanks MacBoo and Bríd for your time and replies.If anyone else wants to throw their hat in the ring with other translations I'd be very grateful.Thanks again you two, delighted with this site.....keep her lit

Aye what Bríd said, 'Seachain' means stay out of/avoid. I think it might be more natural to say something like "ná bí i do sheasamh amach sa bhaisteach/san fhearthainn"I have school-learned Irish so let's see what Bríd says.

"ná bí i do sheasamh amuigh sa mbáisteach""ná bí i do sheasamh amuigh san fhearthainn"

Coinnigh an glas os cionn na deirge/ an deirg

The genitive follows os cionn.

Yep,

Creidim sa chro(i)s 'I believe in the cross'

Not sure if I have this correct but I'm sure one of you will let me know either way

KEEP THE GREEN ABOVE THE REDCOINNIGH AN GLAS OS CIONN AN DEARG

LISTEN TO THUNDER BUT DON'T STAND IN THE RAINÉIST LEIS AN TOIRNEACH NÁ BÍ I DO SHEASAMH AMUIGH SAN FHEARTAINN.

I'm replying on my phone so forgive me if I have made any mistakes. Also if I was to say " NEVER GIVE UP, KEEP THE GREEN ABOVE THE RED"Would it be:NÁ GÉILL CHOÍCHE, COINNIGH AN GLAS OS CIONN AN DEARG.......????

The " KEEP THE GREEN ABOVE THE RED" were my closing words to a eulogy I did at my Fathers funeral so will forever be etched in my mind.All the best, and thanks again.Eamon.
